New Paint That Has Just Started Peeling
how come –
you never actually say –
you love him
where is your heartfelt feelings
it is like –
new paint that has just started peeling
no passionate ode
no personal feeling
no heartfelt cry of joy
it is like –
new paint that has just started peeling
never saying –
i love you
with a scream and a shout
it is written down
but it never feels meant
no, lazy dreaming or manic screaming
it is like –
new paint that has just started peeling
James Garratt – February 2008
